Pentium®
CompactPCI™
computer telephony and communications. Based on Intel®
III 700MHzCPU on-board which complies with PICMG 2.0 R2.1
specifications. Ta rgeting performance-demanding app lications like
’s 440GX chipset, the
MIC-3368 enhances its performance with 100 MHz front side bus.
High Pe rformance Pentium®
The MIC-3368 integrated an Intel®
the BGA2 package. The low power Pentium®
III Processor
low power Pentium®I II 700MHz processor with
III 700MHz processor has on-chip 256
KB cache providing high performance with low cost. With the support of a 100MHz
CPU bus clock, the MIC-3368 can fulfill customer’s expectations of
high-performance computing capability.
Compact Mechanical Design
The MIC-3368 has many functions on a single board with only one-slot width.
Advantech provides a CPU heat sink spec ially designed for the low power Pentium®
III processor, enabling the MIC-3368 to operate without a cooling fan on the heat
sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chassis fans for ventilation. This
enables the MIC-3368 to use a Pentium®
III CPU within a mere 1-slot wide space.
Single P2P Bridge
The MIC-3368 with single PCI-to-PCI Bridge (Intel® DEC21155) is applicable up to
8-slot enclosure (MIC-3032/MIC-3038) and drive up to seven bus master PCI slots.
PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) IEEE1386.1 Compliant
The MIC-3368 support up to two PMC sites and compliant with PICMG 2.3 (PCI
Mezzan ine Card ) specific ation. These two 32-bit PMC inter face pr ovides fr ont acce ss
capability by PMC modules for various function demanding.
Complete I/O Functions
The MIC-3368 offers all the I/O functions of an industrial computer with the rugged
Eurocard form factor. Since two PMC sites knockouts most area of front panel, only
few I/O connectors are available on the fro nt panel including one Ethernet interface,
one serial port, and one PS/2 K/B and mouse. The rest of I/O have fully connected
to the rear I/O module via user-define connector (J3 ~ J5) on the backplane. These
I/O contain two Fast Ethernet interfaces, secondary serial port, one USB port, one
VGA connector, and one PS/2 keyboard/mouse connector. The front panel also has
MIC-3368 Series User Manual -- Page

a reset button and LEDs for power status, HDD operation and Ethernet
communication. The built-in high speed IDE controller provides two separate IDE
channels with Ultra DMA/33 mode. The user-defined J3 connector is designed to
support up to four IDE devices and two floppy drives. These drives can simply be
connected to the backplane or to the rear tr ansition board for easy service and
maintenance.
Meets Industrial and Comput er-T elephony Applications Requirements
The MIC-3368 is designed for use in mission critical applications. It accepts a
CompactFlash™ memory card on either the rear transition board or MIC-3368 itself,
thus eliminating the need to use a fragile rotating hard drive. A watchdog timer can
automatically reset the system if the syste m stops due to a program bug or EMI. The
two-layer front panel design complies with IEEE 1101.10. Connectors are firmly
screwed to the front panel, and the replaceable shielding gasket is attached to the
panel edge. This reduces emissions and gives better protection against external
interference.

1.4 Jumpers
1.4.1 Jumper Locations
The MIC-3368 provides a jumper (JP2) for configuring your board for specific
applications other than the default settings. Table 1-1 lists the jumper function.
Figure 1-2 illustrates the jumper location. Read this section carefully before
changing the jump setting on your MIC-3368 card.
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It gives the card
default configuration and your options for each jumper. After you set the jumpers
and install the card, you will also need to run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in
Chapter 6) to configure the serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and
system operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, appear in
Chapter 2. For the locations of each jumper, see the bo ard layout diagram depicted
earlier in this chapt er.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpe rs.
A jumpe r is the sim p le s t k in d o f e le c t ric switc h . I t consist s of t w o me t a l p in s a nd a
small metal cap (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to
connect them. To "close" a jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a
jumper you remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2
and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
MIC-3368 Series User Manual -- Page

from damage.
1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before
you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while
the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of
power as you con nect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitiv e electronic
components.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you touch your CPU
card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip connectors. Modern integrated
electronic devices, especially CPUs and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to
static electric discharges and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging when it
is not installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipative mat when you are
working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for continuous protection.
1.7 Installing SDRAM (SODIMMs)
The MIC-3368 provides two 144-pin SODIMM sockets. Each socket accepts either
16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 MB SDRAM (for MIC-3368B). Also the 512MB SODIMM
support for MIC-3368. The sockets can be filled in any combination with SODIMMs
of any size, giving a total memory capacity between 16 and 512 MB. If only one
SODIM M module is required, it can be installed in eith er SODIMM socket.
Since the MIC-3368 can operate at 66 or 100 MHz, we recommend using
PC100-compliant SODIMMs. To enable the chipset's Error Checking and Correction
(ECC) function, please use SODIMMs which support the ECC function. The
procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow these steps
carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.
2. Install the SODIMM module. Install the SODIMM so that its gold pins point down
into the SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully fit the bottom
of the card against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM into the socket until the clips on the ends of the
SODIMM sockets snap int o place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all connector contacts
touch. The SODIMM should not move ar ound in its socket.
NOTE: The SODI MM modules can only fit into sockets o ne way, in
accordance with the keyed notches along the bottom edge of the modules.
Their gold pins must point down into the SODIMM socket.

programs of Ethernet and SVGA interfaces. The 440GX and 440BX chipset may not
be recognized by some old-versioned Windows 95. Please visit Intel®’s website to
download the required files:
The MIC-3368 provides two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) channels via the J3
connector to the rear transition board (RIO-3308 for MIC-3368). Four IDE drives
can be connected to the MIC-3368 through the rear transition board. Users can
connect two IDE drives to each IDE channel. If two drives are installed on one
channel, remember to set one as the master and the other one as the slave. You
may do this by setting the jumpers on the drives. Refer to the documentation that
came with your drive for more information. A jumper diagram usually appears on
the top side of a hard disk drive.
Warning: Plug the other end of the cable into the drive with pin #1 on the cable
corresponding to pin #1 on the drive. Improper connection will damage the drive.
2.2 VGA Display Connector (CN3)
The MIC-3368 provides a VGA chipset (CHIPs 69030) built-in display for high

2.3 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector (CN5)
The MIC-3368 provides a 6-pin mini-DIN connector (CN5) on the front panel for
connection of PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. The MIC-3368 comes with a cable to
convert from the single 6-pin mini-DI N connector to a double PS/2 keyboard
connector and PS/2 mouse connector. Since these two connectors are identical,
please, follow the icons on the cable to plug the keyboard and the mouse into their
correct connecto rs.
2.4 Serial Ports (CN1 and CN2)
The MIC-3368 offers two serial ports: COM1 and COM2, both in RS-232. With
limited front panel access, only COM1 can be connected via a RJ-45 to RS-232
adaptor and COM2 interface has to via rear I/O module (RIO-3308) for implement.
These ports allow users to connec t to serial devices (a mouse, printers, e tc.) or a
communication network. You can select the address for each port (For example,
3F8H [COM1], 2F8H [COM2]) or disable it, using the BIOS Advanced Setup program,
covered in Chapter 5. Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different
ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin
assignments for the connector. T he IRQ and address range for both ports are fixed.
However, if you wish to disable the port or change the se parameters later, you c an
do this in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings for the
MIC-3368 board's ports:
